Fired AstraZeneca Sales Director's Colleagues are Merciless

The firing of AstraZeneca Sales Director Michael Zubillaga is met with scorn by his colleagues. Here are some of the comments on AstraZeneca's message board on CafePharma:

this is what Pharmalot writes....Here's a thought or two: AstraZeneca says the newsletter was published "outside" of the required approval process. What does that mean? And it was the Winter edition newsletter, which means it circulated for awhile. Why was he fired now? No one inside the company saw this until now? Or was it because the drugmaker was embarassed the remarks became public? If AstraZeneca was really upset, why didn't the company act sooner?http://pharmalot.com/

At PharmaGossip, however, early results from a poll that just went up indicates most PharmaGossip readers feel that "Zube" shouldn't have been fired, because he just told it like it is and AstraZeneca is trying to put out a fire the company is responsible for starting.

Finally, one blogger took the position that "Zube" really had a really big mouth. That sentiment was illustrated over at Bill of Rights with the image to the left.
